It wouldn’t be a stretch to see UGVs, that is, Unmanned Ground Vehicles.

I know that police are already using various types of UGVs on the basis that it’s a lot more pleasent to attempt to justify to the public why they should be willing to shell out the bucks for a really expensive glorified RC car to replace the one that just got blowed up than it is to attempt to justify why you didn’t spend that money to the spouse and kids of the cop who they’re holding a funeral for. If the military isn’t already, yeah, they’re probably not far behind. They probably won’t see as much use in the military as they do with police forces, but that’s to be expected since police are centrally located and military actions usually aren’t.
